Lion

Chess Club Records release 'Lion Golden Age Thinking', the debut double-A single by their new signing Casi. Casi follows in the footsteps of Wolf Alice, Pumarosa, Jungle, Swim Deep and Mo, in releasing her debut through the London-based label. It's an impressive first release from Wales-born, London-based Casi.'Lion' is a dramatic synthpop tune that has its sights trained on The Big Leagues - gut-punch drops, skittering beats, Romantic touches, sparkling melodies... it's got all the ingredients a hearty pop anthem requires. Casi's vocals are particularly striking. Not only is her of-course-she's-gonna-be-huge voice something very special, she's not afraid to twist and tear into the pristine pop gloss with a veritable war chest of effects.
